Milford FC took a significant step towards securing promotion to the Betway Premiership after edging Magesi FC 1-0 in their PSL promotion/relegation play-off clash on Wednesday.
The victory saw the KwaZulu-Natal outfit move to the top of the mini-league standings with a maximum six points from their opening two matches, putting themselves firmly in control of the race for a place in South Africa's top flight next season.
Coming into the encounter at Richards Bay Stadium, both sides were unbeaten after winning their opening fixtures against Cape Town City. With top spot on the line, a tense and closely contested affair was expected, and neither team disappointed.
Milford looked to make use of their home advantage, while Magesi sought to continue the momentum that had carried them to victory in their first play-off outing.
